A silicone coating is provided for glass and other surfaces with improved glass clarity and maintenance requirements. In addition, a process for preparing a film with improved glass clarity and maintenance requirements. Further a method is provided for adhering an improved coating to a glass (or other) surface. Also a silicone coating is provided for granite, cement, and lexan/plastic.

A coating is formed on a surface of a base material of a furnace, and includes a base layer and a sliding material layer that is formed on a surface of the base layer and contains an oxide ceramic and a compound having a layered crystal structure. The sliding material layer causes the collided ashes to be slipped and facilitates the drop off of the adhered ashes. The base material forms a heat transfer tube or a wall surface of the furnace. The coating is also applied to a coal gasification furnace, a pulverized coal fired boiler, a combustion apparatus, or a reaction apparatus containing a furnace.
